Application of different genetic distance methods to microsatellite data Page 1 In this journal,
Pérez-Lezaun et al. (1997) presented an analysis of the variation at 20 microsatellite loci in 16
worldwide populations by using four different genetic distance methods. The FST (Reynolds et
al. 1993) based the neighbor-joining (NJ) tree (Saitou and Nei 1987) was found to be the most
statistically stable and congruent with anthropological knowledge. Conversely, trees based
on RST (Slatkin 1995) and δµ2 (Goldstein et al. 1995) were poorly supported statistically …
